Density functional theory (DFT) computations were performed to investigate the electronic
properties and Li storage capability of Ti 3 C 2 , one representative MXene (M represents …

The 1T phase of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has been demonstrated in recent
experiments to display excellent catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but …

In this review, we discuss the most recent progress on graphene-related nanomaterials,
including doped graphene and derived graphene nanoribbons, graphene oxide, graphane, …

Electrocatalytic water splitting to produce H2 plays an important role in the capture, conversion,
and storage of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy and wind power. As the …

Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) is a checkpoint receptor expressed on the surface
of various immune cells. PD-L1, the natural receptor for PD-1, is mainly expressed in tumor …

Graphene, an atomic monolayer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice realized in 2004,
has rapidly risen as the hottest star in materials science due to its exceptional properties. The …

Back-contact silicon solar cells, valued for their aesthetic appeal because they have no grid
lines on the sunny side, find applications in buildings, vehicles and aircraft and enable self-…

In practical industrial scenarios, the variations of operating conditions such as load and
rotational speed make mechanical systems subject to complex and variable environmental …

The MoS 2 monolayer is the second most studied two-dimensional material after graphene.
However, the covalent chemistry through the S layers has not been fully explored for …

The bottom-up assembly of nanoparticles into diverse ordered solids is a challenge because
it requires nanoparticles, which are often quasi-spherical, to have interaction anisotropy …
